Five-color mixed salad

This salad, a simple but tasty dish from the southern region, is a combination of five salads each of which has a distinctive taste and color.
The dish’s five compositions are chicken salad, cuttlefish salad, seafood salad, beef salad, and shrimp and pork salad.

The chicken salad’s ingredients include boiled chicken, ambarella leaves, roasted peanuts and sliced banana flower.

The fourth salad includes boiled beef, herbs and crispy peanuts while the last one is mixed with shrimp and sliced pork, peanuts and narrow leaf cattails.

The secret behind the taste of each salad is its sauce.
